No less than 25 train cars derailed in Montana on Sunday, spilling contents into a nearby body of water and into the ground.
Transportation Secretary and train hobbyist Pete Buttigieg, immediately stopped chest feeding his baby and got his butt out to The Big Sky State to assess the situation.
Just kidding. He's still chest feeding with Chasten by his side.
As with all train derailments with concomitant chemical spillage, first responders claim that there was no threat to the public, yet nobody knows what the train was carrying.
Montana Rail Link owns the railroad and like everyone on Twitter, is aware of the situation, but the company that owns the train has yet to be identified, according to NBC Montana.
There have not been any reported injuries from the crash but nobody is drinking the water, showering for digging up their mushrooms for dinner. This latest fustercluck comes less than a week after a 70-car train derailed in North Dakota carrying hazardous material.

Mayor Pete, who is used to not fixing potholes, has also not done much to fix the problem or apparently looked into the cause as far as we can tell, because if he had a clue, he would shout it from the highest CNN host's microphone.
The Canadian Pacific train derailed around 11:15 p.m. roughly a mile southeast of Wyndmere in Richland County, the company said in a statement. No injuries were reported.

Officials said 31 of the 70 cars derailed, some carrying hazardous materials, and crews identified a leak of liquid asphalt. No fires were caused by the derailment and since it was less than 50% of derailed cars, it was seen as no big deal by the company and Buttigieg.
The cleanup was expected to last between seven and 10 days, local reports said. So far, six days have passed and the job is not complete, Pete.
